I’ve never thought of myself as green, you know, environmentally, not the colour. But I've realised that I actually I am rather green, all of my everyday electricity is supplied by the sun, I say everyday as I have a generator and need that to run the washing machine (with eco friendly detergent!), I travel to work on a 125cc scooter. I don’t waste water, I use 250 litres a week including the washing machine, I recycle where possible and half of my heating is provided by gathering waste wood. I use about 25 litres of petrol a week and about 15 litres of diesel.
Just knowing these figures seems odd to me, but now that I do I really want to improve on them and have the lowest impact lifestyle I can, whilst this is not possible for most people, I think I could learn and share a lot and am thinking of doing a separate blog on the eco living thing, what do you think?
While you are thinking, here’s some pics
